The court process began this week for Shayla Orthner and Danita Thomas, each charged with first-degree murder in the death of Tiki Laverdiere.
Orthner and Thomas are also charged with kidnapping, improperly interfering with a human body and vehicle theft.
In a brief court appearance Tuesday, 27-year-old Orthner was remanded in custody, as was 32-year-old Thomas Wednesday morning.
The next court appearances are both scheduled for Friday, Aug. 2.
Judges on both days issued orders that Orthner and Thomas not contact a list of people that included potential co-accused and witnesses.
Crown prosecutor Chris Browne told reporters after the court appearance Tuesday the matter is still being investigated by police.
In news releases, RCMP have said they expect to make additional arrests in the investigation in the coming weeks.
As the homicide investigation continues, RCMP are not providing media interviews at this time.
